Once again I have typed out a ridiculously long entry and accidently deleted it.
Anyway. I started workin at the Co-Op on Monday.
I love it.
- I get to fondle and eat produce all day.
- I get 25% off everything.. even sale and clearance items!
- I have a $25 tab which is incredibly convenient as I constanly forget to bring food with me.That will go up to $100 after the probationary period!
- I get a paid lunch! paid lunch?! amazing!
- After I work 2500 hours I will be a member of the Co-Op for life.. Even if I stop working there.
- If I need to take classes for training, they will pay for it.
So far the customers and the employees I've encountered have been pretty nice. I always feel so awkward when I first start a job because I am super shy and quiet. Eventually as I get to know people and get over that awkwardness, it will be better.
In other news. I think I might have an underactive thyroid. I am tired all of the time even after a full nights sleep. I have a very low tolerance to cold and often feel cold in normal room temperatures. I have numbness in my extremeties. I am depressed (partially because I am tired). Pain and swelling in my joints, muscle stiffness, brittle fingernails and hair. I am often forgetful and definitely feel like my thought process has slowed-especially when talking. This has gotten worse over the years. I don't remember ever feeling so tired. I am motivated to do things, but too tried or sore to do it. I consume a looooooot of soy. I have been consuming soy more than anything else for many years. Apparently too much soy is bad for the thyroid. I wish I didn't have anxiety about going to a doctor.
I ate eggs and toast for breakfast today. I decided that I am going to eat local cage free organic eggs. After this morning's breakfast I feel satisfied but not hungry and full at the same time like I usually feel. Justin said that if I start eating eggs, he is going to start eating chicken. Who knows where this will go.

ha, your comments are so posi! I love it. and Thank You! I am psyched. woo!
yay for finding an awesome job! Now you get to hit up the bulk section! Lucky!
indeed. The produce section is right next the bulk section. I get asked where things are constantly. I'll get to know that section well.
oh yea! and the cafe gives us sandwiches and what not from days prior.
I love Co-Ops :) I shop at local co-ops. I eat way too much soy too. I am trying to get my son off soy. I had no idea too much soy was bad... soy makes the best milk, "cheese" etc... I am going to try to limit my sons soy intake a whole lot. I can't imagine eating eggs, but do what you gotta do to feel better :)
I know! ah. I went to shaws today and they had a new soy pudding! I was so tempted. I still have a fridge full of soymilk and fake meat products too. I'd like to stop giving quen so much. She is super picky and loves all of that stuff.

A Boy with Autonomic Dysfunction - The Miller Family
Our Special Life
Oliver was born after having suffered a stroke while in his mother's womb. The resulting brain injury is called Dysautonomia (Autonomic Dysfunction). His doctors believe the stroke was the result of the miscarriage of his twin. Oliver is completely blind and his underdeveloped brain stem makes basic physical functions a challenge. In spite of all this, he is a happy, go-lucky, 12-year-old boy, and his mom wants people to meet the real Oliver, not just his medical hardships.
